Everyone’s favorite hero named after a sandwich is back—and the stakes (and snakes) have never been higher! From New York Times bestselling author Joshua Pruett (Last Comics on Earth and Phineas and Ferb), this laugh-out-loud, heart-filled adventure is perfect for fans of myths, monsters, and mildly questionable life choices. It’s classic Greek mythology . . . but funnier!

What happens after the heroes save the day? Who moves the defeated villain’s former statue out of the coliseum? Does anyone feed the flying horse? And, seriously, where did Perseus’s magical armor go?

Gyro and his ragtag team of redeemed monsters are about to find out when a new wave of mythological misfits crash the party—and they’re huge fans. Word of Gyro’s monster-saving adventures has spread across ancient Greece, and now everyone wants in. Leading the pack are Medusa’s sisters, Stheno and Euryale, who arrive with enough emotional baggage to sink the Argo, and they have one small request from history’s favorite kid named after a sandwich: give them a shot at redemption.

Then Heracles (Hercules’s cousin, but smells way worse) ropes Gyro into a “small” side quest: one-upping her cousin by completing thirteen Labors instead of twelve. You know, like the twelve impossible Labors that Hercules endured in the ancient history books . . . but one better. Math! Now Greek mythology’s most lovable nerd has to juggle monsters, gods, gorgons, and a zombie Perseus (seriously?) on the ultimate mythological road trip, packed with double the laughs, double the danger, and double the family drama. (Because it is a sequel, after all.)

But when the chaos reaches mythic proportions, Gyro’s about to learn that sometimes the hardest quest of all . . . is asking for help?!

Gyro and the Argonauts: Class of the Titans includes:

• Hilarious black-and-white illustrations
• A pronunciation guide for Greek words (like gyro, pronounced like "yee-roh", not unlike "hero"!)
• Fun facts about history and mythology and tips for discerning fact from fiction
• All new characters joining the cast

With bestselling author Joshua Pruett’s trademark razor-sharp wit, snarky narrator, and fast-paced storytelling, plus incredible art by Annie Award–winner Anthony Holden (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) and fan-favorite Amanda Castillo (Mapmakers and the Flickering Fortress), this sequel proves that not all heroes wear togas, and not all strength comes from muscles.
